LAWRENCE DAY
(born Feb-01-1949, 76 years old) Canada

[what is this?]
Lawrence Alexander Day was born in Kitchener Ontario, Canada. An IM in 1972, he was Canadian champion in 1991. Day represented Canada at the 1967 World Junior Championship, and as high as 2nd board and captain at the Olympiads - a Canadian record attendance 13 times. User: IMlday accumulated 70.5 points in 131 team games during the Olympiads.

IM Lawrence Day registered a perfect 5/5 to top IM Jevgenyij Boguszlavszkij (visiting from Hungary) and the rest of the 16 player field Nov. 13 at the Bayview Games Club in Toronto to win the 2004 Canadian Senior Championship. He won the Ottawa RA club championships between 1966-8. He won the 1977, 1980 and 1983 Toronto Championships with 9/11, 8/11 and 10.5/11 respectively, and the year following, tied with Jozef Polacek and Robert Morrison for share of 1st-3rd.

He maintained the 2 (weekly) merged columns in the Toronto Star newspaper (previously, Toronto Chess Club president and Canadian Chess Federation President (1936) Charles Crompton edited a weekly studies column during 1940-75 and Walter Dobrich had been a previous columnist in the earlier 1970s for annotations of a game segment) from 1976 until 2013. Occasionally, his column writing also appeared in the Winnipeg Tribune and Ottawa Citizen.

He is a member of the Canadian Chess Hall of Fame and currently lives near Toronto.

Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 71 OF 81 ·  Later Kibitzing>
Apr-01-09  PinnedPiece: <Riverbeast: <Pinned Piece> You are not expressing neutrality and caution, you are also ignoring the evidence, which was substantial before Einarrson's email, and irrefutable now.>

<ignoring the evidence>... <irrefutable> is a pretty strong word.

Mind your credibility, please.

Apr-01-09  Riverbeast: <Mind your credibility, please>

The person who seems to be losing credibility with every post is you, <Pinned Piece>, along with everybody else who still clings to the idea that Fischer may have written this book

Apr-01-09  PinnedPiece: <Riverbeast: The person who seems to be losing credibility with every post is you, <Pinned Piece>>

I read the Einarsson emails and made the following assumptions, which I wonder if it even crossed your mind, now that I know what you consider to be in-depth analysis:

1. In previous, or post emails or other communication, Labate sought and obtained permission from Einarsson to post his private communication on his website. Einarsson will not complain about that.

2. In previous, or post emails or other communication, Labate sought and obtained permission from Seirawan to allow his name to be visible. Seirawan will not complain about that.

vis credibility: The more credible you are, the more likely IMlday will be to take your inquisition seriously.

Apr-01-09  Riverbeast: Blah blah blah blah blah.

I believe that in light of Einarsson's testimony <IMLDay> can prove his objectivity only by retracting his review in his column....Otherwise his motivations for saying the book was written by Fischer (which were always suspect at worse, naive at best) will begin to stink to high heaven.

And I'll let <IMLDay> respond to that. You didn't write the review, he did.

Apr-01-09  Ed Trice: Would International Master Lawrence Day mind sending me an email? My email address is GothicChessInfo@aol.com

A New York Times correspondent has contacted me. He'd like to email you as well.

I'm in the process of turning over ALL of my emails to him. I also had asked Dr. Frank Brady to forward the spoofed emails to me. I am sending them to The Times as well.

I have plenty of documentation that someone replaced the "i" in GothicChessInfo@aol.com with a lower case letter "L" and spoof a bunch of emails.

By the way, Dr. Frank Brady has already gone on record as saying that the person who met him at the Fischer symposium (RiverBeast) was also the one asking him questions that were worded exactly as in the spoofed emails.

Riverbeast may enjoy explaining that.

By the way, Riverbeast, I filed the documents with a District Attorney who was also a Federal Prosecutor. He is the one who took over and is moving the criminal case forward, not me.

Your docket will read "The State of Pennsylvania vs...." not me, at all.

Civil suits mean nothing.

The attorney I first spoke with was Mike Schwartz of Pepper Hamilton in Philadelphia. He handled the case of Larry Mendte, the newsreporter who had accessed his female colleague's email illegally. He knows all about what has to be done in criminal matters of this regard.

He directed me to another firm, that is dealing with all of the current mess you created for yourself.

Enjoy.

Apr-01-09  Riverbeast: Okay, <Trice>.

Enjoy.

Apr-01-09  Riverbeast: <rookhouse> It's okay.....We're watching the workings of a desperate and vindictive man, who is destroying himself before our very eyes...

He tried laying false charges against Labate, so I'm not surprised that he's crazy, stupid, and desperate enough to try it with me.

Go wild, Ed...Get down with your bad self

Apr-01-09  rookhouse: I got deleted .... again.
Apr-01-09  MageOfMaple: <Ed Trice: Civil suits mean nothing.>

LOL. I know of one that means $21,200,000.

Apr-01-09  Jim Bartle: <Ed Trice: Civil suits mean nothing.>

OJ Simpson will be happy to learn that.

Apr-01-09  AnalyzeThis: Life is too short for this nonsense.
Apr-03-09  PinnedPiece: <PinnedPiece: <Riverbeast: The person who seems to be losing credibility with every post is you, <Pinned Piece>> I read the Einarsson emails and made the following assumptions, which I wonder if it even crossed your mind, now that I know what you consider to be in-depth analysis:

1. In previous, or post emails or other communication, Labate sought and obtained permission from Einarsson to post his private communication on his website. Einarsson will not complain about that.

2. In previous, or post emails or other communication, Labate sought and obtained permission from Seirawan to allow his name to be visible. Seirawan will not complain about that.

>

Labate has now edited his emails to exclude the reference (previously there) to Gardar Sverison. Ergo he HAD NOT sought and approved everybody's permission.

I don't see anything other than a <small slipup from a zealot> in that, however.

.

Apr-03-09  AnalyzeThis: I don't think anybody cares about small details.
Apr-04-09  PinnedPiece: <AnalyzeThis: I don't think anybody cares about small details.>

It's important enough to me that I asked CG.com to remove posts of mine where I quoted the email with that paragraph in it. I see other places on the internet that copied the email verbatim have not been so circumspect, or courteous. If Ed Labate thought he needed to remove it, then I had better compy as well.

Apr-06-09  PinnedPiece: <PinnedPiece: <AnalyzeThis: I don't think anybody cares about small details.> It's important enough to me that I asked CG.com to remove posts of mine where I quoted the email with that paragraph in it. >

I now see on Ed Labate's <Trice Exposed> page that he has restored the paragraphs mentioning Gardar. Not only that, but a lot of new emails between Einar and Trice have appeared.

Trice's wiggle room on the issue has shrunk to about coffin size, I would judge.

Apr-06-09  Riverbeast: <a lot of new emails between Einar and Trice have appeared>

I thought it was spelled 'Einer'.

That dumb a*s was correcting ME when I spelled his name 'Einar'....And this genius decides to go into the book writing business

It no doubt explains why, as <IMLDay> said, there were so many 'typos and grammatical errors' in the text

Apr-06-09  Ed Trice: <PinnedPiece> Amazing how "new emails" appear when the last time I corresponded with him was in March of 2008.
Apr-06-09  Riverbeast: Yeah, we know <Trice>....They were all spoofed.... And 'Einer' is part of "the vast conspiracy" against you
Apr-06-09  Ed Trice: Tell me why Labate was angry when the Canadian eBay auction ended and the girl threatened to destroy the books, if he was spared being scammed thousands of dollars.
Apr-06-09  Ed Trice: (hint: he paid for them to be printed, he used 3rd and 4th parties that could not be traced back to him, so even they didn't know who he was, so he was out thousands of dollars.)
Apr-06-09  Ed Trice: I wonder why the Icelander asked Labate if he wants to participate in a book publishing project at the end of that email to Labate? Maybe to recover the costs lost from their previous involvement?
Apr-06-09  Jim Bartle: Ed Trice: "(hint: he paid for them to be printed, he used 3rd and 4th parties that could not be traced back to him, so even they didn't know who he was, so he was out thousands of dollars.)"

I'd like to see the evidence that Labate did this.

  chancho: <Jim> You'll be waiting until Halley's comet before Trice produces anything resembling evidence.
Apr-06-09  Ed Trice: Labate is in the same situation as Colonel Nathan R. Jessup in the movie, "A Few Good Men"; there is no reasonable answer to the final question.

<Colonel, if you gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would Santiago be in danger?Why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base?>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hGv...

Labate, if you knew the book was a scam, and you had paid no money to have them printed, then why were you angry when the Canadian eBay auction ended? When the girl said she would destroy the books, why would you have any emotional reaction at all?

Apr-06-09  Riverbeast: ***YAWN***

The last lying gasps of a cornered scam artist

I think this would make good material for a play....'Death of a Con Man'
